I have tried to make some money on cash game on pokerstars and I failed. And the main reason why I have not succed is myself. I guess, it's a good thing that I am aware of that and I am not lying to myself.
I was building my bankroll, but for some reason i had days where I've lost everything I earned on pokerstars (not a lot). I didn't have discipline, I have not stick to my bankroll managment as was the plan, I got greedy. I had a hard time dealing with lost hands that my opponent won by luck. The problem was in my head. If I could control my emotions it would be a different story.
So, it was not easy for me to earn money on poker.
I will try again to make some money on poker, but this time on MTT-s and hopeffuly with calm head.

If it were easy to make money playing poker, everyone would be making money. In order to win money at poker, you gotta have some run of luck. online poker I find it harder to make money. Live poker I have always won something, you still have to also have luck there. It's probably the hands that more so much more, as well as faster with online poker. All I day everyone would be making money online poker if it were that easy.

I take poker as a job not a hobby. It do not play for pleasure, fun or entertainment. I play for a potential income. To put it very bluntly, for me it's easier to paly poker for 23 hours a day than to sit for 8 hours behind a till or do any average job and if my only option would be to work everyday like a robot doing a crap job, I'd rather kill myself before the end of the month. Poker gives me a purpose, it's challenging, it's complex, it's active. I do get annoyed, I do swear, I do lose. but I am patient and I fold as many times as I have to, even if I get bluffed. I bluff too quite often, it's part of the game. Omaha is easier because I know quickly if it's worth pursuing a hand or folding on flop. There's no point in chasing average junk at micros. And I am happy to sit behind a screen and play for 12 hours a day whether I win 10-20 dollars or lose 5. I have bad days or even weeks but I have never lost my bankroll and have been growing it steadily from zero to a few hundred in about 8 months. So I'm happy. Maybe in the next year or two I will jump up in stakes. Definitely not making a living yet but I have more confidence in this than in minimum wage. Hope this helps.

Many people believe that poker is a simple way to make money. however, this is not the case. You must put in the time and effort to succeed. Commitment to researching hand histories, to studying the game and absorbing everything that can give you an advantage.
Thats the only way to make "easy" money in poker.

Making money by playing poker is not something that's easy to do. If it was that easy, everyone would be doing it.
It take a lot of time and effort to perfect your knowledge and develop the play style that works for you. Once you've managed that, it is still not a guarantee that you will make money and although it's possible to win large sums of money in tournaments etc, there are a lot more people that have lost money over-all than have become millionaires playing poker.
Thankfully, freerolls exist and so you can play and develop skills and experience without having to put up any of your own cash at first. Just take the time to develop and hopefully things will pick up.

Its not easy at all.
My opinion - ppl succesfull in poker are so clever, that they could make same or better money at other business with less effort.
So only do poker for profit if you really enjoy it - otherwise listen to your parrents and get a fcking job.

It may seem easy at times, but earning money regularly is difficult. You have to maintain maximum focus and mental peace of mind to always make the best decisions. Always update, criticize your bad decisions, correct and always keep calm. Good luck at the tables!
